      I once worked for a CPA who asked me what a balance sheet was for.

      He was from a wealthy Tibetan family dynasty and clearly paid his way into the industry, but who knows why he would choose to do that because he clearly was completely over his head.

      We used to call him Michael Scott sans charisma.

      I’d imagine the number of people with degrees who are confidently incorrect on the subject of their major is much smaller than those without a formal education.

      While I don’t agree with China’s tactics, something needs to be done about people like Joe Rogan peddling harmful misinformation to millions of people.
